Only a day after her son’s christening, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was in the public eye again, this time attending the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Gala in London, marking her second solo appearance since giving birth in late July.

The Duchess of Cambridge arrives at the gala.

Kate was the height of elegance, dressed in a floor-length evening gown by one of her favourite designers, Jenny Packham (Packham designed the periwinkle, polka-dot dress Kate wore to take Prince George home from the hospital and also the glittering gown she wore to an event with Prince William earlier this fall). According to the listing for the dress on stylebop.com, the dress costs about $6,000.

Kate was wearing one of her favourite designers, Jenny Packham.

Her hair was down, falling in loose curls around her shoulders and she accentuated the look with her trademark “smoky eye” makeup and understated jewelry (though her engagement ring, once owned by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, was on display for all to see).
